Price Of . Woman's Complexion

Two thousand dollars is the price a
woman sets upon her complexion. At
least this is the sum of damages which
Miss Frances Kelsey is about to clam
in the courts from a druggist whom
she alleges is responsible for much of
her facial beauty. Lawyer Thompson,
as attorney for Miss Kelsey, has pre-
pared the pleadings and complaint in
the case. The documents set forth in
clear typewriter letters and legal phra-
ses that on June q last Miss Kelsey
called at the trug store and ordered
from the CLERK 10 cents worth of stake
white," which It was her intention to
mix with hay rum and apply as a face
lotion. Tie following day the lady
rubbed the compound over her face,
and it burned the cuticle till it peeled
away, and she was obliged to take to
her bed in great suffering. She was
confined for a week, and although the
wounds have heaied the marks remain,
and her face is badly SCARED and dis
figured. She concludes that the drug
gist's clerk by mistake gave her corro-
sive sublimate instead of flake white"
Miss Kelsey estimates her special
damages at $12 for loss Of time and 81
for medical attendance.--6. Paul

HOW 4 CRIME WAS FOUND OUT.

The Strange Manner In which . Horrible
Murder Wss Revealed In England.
In Somerset q widower, an agricult-
ural laborer, wished to remarry, but his
choice refused on the ground that he
had an 0-year-Old girl and could not
provide comfortably for both. Were
the child tout of the way" she would
consent. A week afterward, says q
writer in AL The Year Round, he took
the child out for a walk, and the
mothers sister who kissed her, when
her father took her away, was the last
except her father, who ever saw her
alive. The father did not return, and
not much notice seems to have been
taken Of the double disappearance for
q month or 30. Then by some accident
it came to the ears of one Of the local
justices of the peace. The idea, which
he could never account for, at once
possessed and filled his mind to the ex-
clusion OF all else that the girl had
been killed and that her body would be
found at the bottom Of a neighboring
disused coal pit. He expressed his
idea at the next meeting Of the magis-
trates, and urged upon them the ex-
animation Of the pit, but not having
any evidence to support his idea and
the pit being full Of water they de-
clined to do anything on the ground
that to pump out the pit would cause a
larger expenditure of public money
than they would be justified in making
on the mere suspicion OF One individ-
ual. But the magistrate could obtain
no peace for his own mind, and event.
ually determined to empty the pit at
his own cost, which be did ct the OK
pense Of E2OO. At the bottom Of the
pit the workers were horrfHed y d.
cover the body Of the Infortunate sirl,
rolled and tied up in her fathers old
macintosh. The father was speedily
captured in South Wales-the afro
cious nature of the crime causing all
the inhabitants of the west country to
become amateur detectives for once
was brought to trial, convicted, and
hanged. He made . full confession
before execution. He had taken her
to q field and babe her play while he
worked. The work he pretended to
be engaged in was to dig q trench-her
intended grave-and while he dug she
made garlands Of wild flowers and
placed them round his hat. When
ready he split her head in twain with
the spade and buried her. On the
next day and the next he visited the
spot to see if all was undisturbed.
On the the third day he found that one
of her feet was exposed, and this SO
terrified him that he returned at night,
took up the remains, and threw them
down the pit.

4 Rtranee Nteu,

Strange means are res0rtod TO N
order TO obtain property, but . case
near Waterloo beats them all. Tho
wife Of Nelson d. bromley was taken
sick, and Emily D. Arndt, . spiritual
list doctor, was called in. Bromley is
also a spiritualist. The wife died, and
after her death Emily Arndt was the
medium between the dead wife and the
living husband. While she was acting
rs such medium the dead wife willed
that all the property Of the living hus-
band should be transferred to Emily
ID. Arndt. And. strange to say, the
old gentleman did it. The transfers
of mortgages on record at the Office OF
the register Of deeds In this city give
as q consideration ss$l, and for valua-
BILE service rendered heretofore" The
entire amount transferred will amount
to above $50, OO0.-Je6erson WIS., Ban.

A rag-peddler who was driving VI
Gratiot avenue yesterday had reached
Hastings street when his horse baked.
The usual number or smart Alecks were
soon on hand with thoir advice, aud one
suggestion after another WAS tried IN
vain. The horse could neither be pulled
nor pushed. aud as he was hlockading
traffic the crowd began to grow very
rapidly.
What is it?'' inquired q boy OF
twelve who pushed his way into the
circle.
'Balky horse" answered some one.
where's the owner? Here. you man,
can't you start this horse?''
mo. he doan' start Oop."
"Wait a minute"
The lad ran up the street half a block
and pulled a handful Of hay out Of A
bale ~ a feed-stDre, and when he re-
turned he cleared a space in front OF
the horse, stood of about five feet, and
extended his hand. The horse pricked
up his ears, his eyes glistened, and he
at once advanced and followed the boy
around the corner.
'It's according to the boss" ex-
planned the boy. as the crowd eheered.
When a hay-fed boss balks he wants
